Chapter 154 – Chapter 148 – Balancing (12)

“L.”

The demon king stopped him by calling Hernán’s nickname.
She used this title only when the two of them were alone.

Is it on purpose to keep other women off guard?
Or do you just want to show the intimacy of a moment when you’re alone?

With that thought in mind, Hernán tried to call her name.

But he hesitated for a moment and kept his mouth shut.

He said he was just going to call her her Sharpie.
That too, because she always wanted to call herself her nickname, Sharpie.

His real name is Shafikara Pagan, sometimes.
It was only used occasionally in serious situations.

Then, when you and the demon king were alone, did you always call each other by nicknames?

“I want to ask you something.”

While Hernan hesitated, the demon king continued his words.

“Sylnia and Marina. Did you decide to open up more with them?”

Hernán decided to stop her thoughts for a moment.
And she looked at the dreamer who always twisted or twisted her words.

“What do you mean? Don’t hide it, tell me.”

In reply to Hernan, the demon king smiled as usual.

“Hidden meaning? This body was just asking because I was curious if the people who were unhappy with each other recently reconciled.”

Ever since the demon king entered this place, he tried to show off his skill as he always showed.
But for some reason, Hernán felt that the dreamer’s smile was like a bitter smile.

Maybe she’s tired too.
Just as Karine is extremely tired from her repeated insomnia and ruined relationships.

Of course, only she knows exactly what she is tired of.

So, instead of continuing her conversation right away, Hernan put his hand on the demon king’s waist.

“Yes? No matter how much Karinee took her kids, this is a bit… Of course, if El wants it, he’s willing to do it! Just in time, she said she wanted to be with you more.”

Perhaps taking Hernán’s actions in a sexual way, she brightened her heart eyes.
She then tried to hug Hernán’s waist with her familiar, skillful motion.

However, Hernán made it known that he did not mean that by walking towards her table.
Having put her demon king in her chair, he sat down beside her.
And she let go of the hard expression she always maintained.

“Let’s talk comfortably sometimes. Get rid of complicated roundabouts and ambiguous facial expressions.”

At that, Sharpie raised the corner of her mouth.
It’s a bit like laughing at the man in front of you, and it’s also like self-help to yourself.

“Well? This one is already comfortable. Are you uncomfortable with El? Then, will she also step out and start a conversation? Maybe Karine will understand even if we’re a bit late…”

“Don’t relax with sex, let’s relax with conversation.”

At Hernan’s words, Sharpie crossed her arms.
A look that subtly emphasizes her beautiful breasts.

“Does your back hurt? Then this is just a simple service…”

“Shafikara.”

Shafikara stopped her movements when she suddenly heard her own real name.

“Don’t speak as a dreamer, my…”

A title that defines their relationship to each other.
Whenever I talk to women, I always feel that this moment is difficult.

Because she couldn’t easily judge whether she could say this without thinking.
Especially for this dreamer, she doubted the properness of this relationship now lingering in her own mouth.

She’s been feeling a little suspicious of her lately.

But he didn’t talk back now, and she decided to be honest about what she wanted.

“As my wife. Let’s talk openly as a couple.”

When Hernan said that, the smile that made up most of Sharpie’s expression slowly disappeared.

“As a wife?”

“Okay. Because it’s a family, sometimes it’s good to talk comfortably without considering each other’s situation. You called me Ella’s daddy too often, so don’t you think that to some extent?”

Even as he said this to Shafikara, he recalled the information that dreamers have very vague ideas about marriage and family.

Maybe she’ll ignore this awkward relationship and show the dreamer’s smile again.

But Hernán also likes a blank expression or a disliked expression, so he thought that sometimes he would like to see Shafikara in its raw state.

“So Shafikara.”

He opened his mouth, feeling a little tired.

“What do you want to ask your husband about?”

The demon king closed his mouth and was silent.
Then, the dreamer untied her arms that emphasized her breasts.

After a long and short silence, Shafikara opened her mouth.
Tiredness appeared on her face as she spoke.

“Sylnia and Marina. When did you mend your relationship with them? Didn’t L and those two have a rough relationship?”

“It wasn’t very long. Maybe there are still a lot of awkward points between us.”

“Strange. Elle is the two people who harmed her children whom she cared so much about.”

Marina refused to treat her son’s disability with her Silnia, and Silnia brutally assaulted her mother in front of her Marina and her daughter.

Certainly, Hernando still feels sick when he thinks of that incident.

“Besides, even though Silnia doesn’t know, Marina is already cooperating with El? I don’t understand.”

“Cooperation?”

“It’s hard to bring in the magic stone or replace the queen with Silnia without Marina’s consent.”

Shafiqa, her eyes dimmed, she kept rubbing her heart eyes with her hand.
It was probably like that because I was tired.

“And the saintess didn’t seem to like El. Is there anything wrong with each other? So why are you two cooperating like this?”

It was a little disappointing that the open conversation was like this.
However, Hernan was a little relieved to be able to put her foot in the depths of Shafikara’s heart even with a subject like this.

“You can say more. Because I am listening.”

Shafikara stroked her horn at those words.
She probably thought she had put her hand on it unconsciously.

“I wonder about that. Is there anything else.”

Saying that, Shafikara’s expression was quite sharp.
She didn’t even know that maybe she was wary.

“Do you really have anything else you want to say or ask?”

“Question…”

She clenched her horn as she saw Hernán, who insisted on speaking again.
And then she seemed to realize that she was touching her horn.

“Doesn’t exist. Aren’t you tired too? Let’s not get tired of each other and let’s go in.”

As the dreamer smiled at her, Hernán felt regret once again.

“Is there anything you want from me? Shafikara, you always try to fit in with me. If possible, I would like to accommodate you.”

When called Shafikara, she once again hardens her expression.
However, the face of the demon king, which was soon released, showed a charming smile.

“Huh? Is it enough for El to give this body energy every time? Even when she had morning sickness, she was dedicated.”

When the conversation reached this point, Hernan felt that he was talking to Shafi again instead of Shafikara.

“You don’t even have to answer the question this body said earlier. Come to think of it, that’s a very boring question, isn’t it?”

Sharpie rose from his chair and waggled her tail.

“I’ll go to the nursery first. The hero must be struggling alone.”

“Sylnia and Marina.”

Hernán said to Sharpie, who was already heading down the aisle.

“I haven’t exchanged anything with the two of them. We just acted as a couple.”

That’s not a very strong statement.
However, there was a strong desire.

A wish to have such a relationship with Shafikara.

As if responding to her strong desire, Shafikara turned her body slightly to look at Hernán.

She was silent and met Hernán’s eyes.
And she glanced sideways at the demon god’s altar for a moment.

After a while, the dreamer disappeared into her hallway, leaving only the usual eye smile.

* * *

Upon entering Silnia’s room, she saw her daughter with her own son.

“How do you feel when you see your brother sleeping?”

“Your ears are pointy.”

“Are you sharp too?”

After Silnia smiled, she turned to Hernan.

“The flowers you gave me. I’m working hard on making something that Lenny will like.”

As she said, in her room, there were fragrant flowers and ornaments made of flowers all over the place.

“I already made a lot.”

Hernán smiled back, and she held the thing that just caught her eye in her hand.
And she put it on her head.

“What are you doing? I didn’t make this for me.”

Silnia grunted as the garland was placed on her head, she was ruined.
But the expression itself was full of smiles, and she was telling me that she was in a good mood.

Thanks to Hernando, she felt good.

“The use of the wish ticket will probably happen sooner or later.”

“Huh!”

The elf smiled brightly as he rubbed cheeks with his son.

“I want to see my son walking. When she takes her toes, Hernanni take her to the forest and walk by the trees.”

“Why? You should go yourself.”

“That would be nice. But…”

Sylnia smiled shyly.

“I don’t know when Lenny’s going to be okay, and she’s going to be reluctant to see me out, as are the other girls and Marina? She had such a big accident…”

As she said that, she tried to take off her garland.

“Sylnia.”

Hernán held the elf’s hand and prevented her from taking off her garland.
And she pulled her hand in front of his chest.

“Marina has agreed to you coming out. While Lenny is in the nursery or sleeping, she is free to go outside.”

“Uh… Really?”

“Huh. And.”

Sylnia’s hands smelled like flowers.
Hernán took something out of her pocket to put on her finger.

“That…”

Sylnia’s eyes widened.

“The wild flowers I picked for you in the forest?”

Hernán carefully held a ring made of wild flowers from Silnia’s forest.

The ring she was going to present to herself was in a more sturdy state by Hernan’s hand.

“Will you stay with me in the future?”

He said, putting her ring on the tip of her ring finger on Silnia’s left hand.

“Ah…”

Silnia let out her sigh as she looked at the ring.
A few tears welled up in her eyes.

She asked in an awkward voice, the corners of her mouth quivering.

“Did Marina get on this finger too? Do humans wear rings here in the same sense as we do?”

“Huh. And I want you to get on this finger too.”

Just as Marina put her flower ring on the ring finger of her left hand, so Silnia this finger suits her ring.
If another woman also receives her ring, she will wear it here.

Couldn’t a couple wear a ring on another finger besides this one?

“A ring from El. The ring finger of my left hand…”

Silnia let out a voice mixed with crying.

“Me… Can we go back to the forest?”

She said the last time she said something like this was full of her despair.

But now.
She said the same thing, but her voice was full of emotion.

“Didn’t I promise to send you back?”

Hernán answered softly, and pushed her ring in.
“She smells the wild flowers growing in the forest,” Said Silnia, delightedly.

“That promise. Will you protect me forever?”

Her forest embraced the elf.

Elf wearing a wreath and a ring.
The new queen-to-be was very happy.
